Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo on Long Island, NY (East End). My family and I went pumpkin picking as we do every year. I am a huge fan of using leading lines in my images. You will see it in most of my work. It draws the eye in and helps to tell a story.Time
I ALWAYS shoot at golden hour but this day had overcast and cloudy skies. It was about 2pm.Lighting
I love nice even lighting. Thats why I always shoot at golden hour or overcast days.Equipment
I used my Nikon D700 and 50mm 1.8. No flash. I like to shoot natural light.Inspiration
I saw a great story with the perfect light and leading lines.Editing
I had to remove many other people in this shot. I use ACR and Photoshop CC.In my camera bag
I always have my Nikon D700 50mm 1.8, 85mm 1.8, 70-200mm 2.8, and one of my favorite (old lens) 135mm 2.8. Its an older lens so I have to manually focus it but I have never seen such amazing bokeh with any other new lens.Feedback
Just slow down don't try to pose them. It will happen. Just let life unfold in front of you. Don't force the shot.
